Yes indeed, I have just read the report fully again which states that approach lights 305 metres (1000ft) from the end of the runway were also damaged. The approach lights to 08 were not the full standard length due to falling ground so I would think the aircraft took out part of the first row before descending into the valley.

The report stated that the take off distance available (TODA) was approximately 178ft below the end of the runway.
